A call to arms....

Have you seen this? Interesting isn't it how it made it all the way to the Supreme Court already? I hadn't heard of it at least til now.

We need to pray people that the right to bear arms will not be taken away by a bunch of liberals who would rather see a govt or criminals as the only ones with guns. Whether you have guns at home or not the issue isn't really guns it's our freedom! The potential ramifications are huge and far reaching should the court decide that one can only own guns if you are part of an organized milita!

It would be my fervent hope that they, being the court, would consider the historical context of the aforementioned right (to bear arms). At the time the document was drafted, if I am not incorrect in my American History, that clause was drafted because the British wanted to control the possession of weapons in the colonies. If they had instituted the desired bans, the colonists would not have been able to organize their rebel militia. The founding fathers were endeavoring to make sure that the people of the US always had the ability to stand up to a corrupt government. If the Supreme Court upholds the DC gun ban, I truly believe they will be DIShonoring the desires of our founding fathers...at least in an historical context.
